About D.D.

Hi, I'm D.D. Forrest—a health coach, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) practitioner, and author dedicated to helping women navigate their new operating system in midlife.

For over 15 years, I've been coaching clients through the most challenging transitions of their lives. I've worked with hundreds of women who felt invisible to their doctors, dismissed by their peers, and hopeless about their health. My mission is simple: help you reclaim your vitality and realize that your body isn't broken—you just need new tools.

I help women navigate their new operating system.

My approach combines functional medicine principles with practical lifestyle strategies. I don't believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I work with each client to understand their unique body, uncover root causes of their struggles, and create sustainable protocols that actually work.

My Credentials

  • Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) Practitioner
  • Certified Health Coach
  • Published Author - "Own Your Wellness" (Simon & Schuster)
  • 15+ Years of Health Coaching Experience
